Description

The document in the image is a Fede di Sanità or Patente di Sanità, kept in the museum, issued by the Bergamo health system on February 28, 1721 and seen in the Brescia health office on March 7, 1721. But what is a Fede di Sanità or health license? Even in the past, states adopted restrictive measures to block the spread of epidemics. For example, the Serenissima Republic of Venice, also dominant of the Bergamo territories, set up strict sanitary lines with the soldiers placed to guard the borders and the authorities in charge of the ports organized the default, or the quarantine of goods and letters, in well-spaced canals and islands. from the city. These figures had to check that the goods entering the territory were accompanied by health faiths, specific documents, issued from the place of departure, which attested to the conditions of free circulation (the document kept in the museum is an example). Furthermore, the goods and the letters had passed to the "purge" or underwent the practice of disinfection in the lazarets because they were considered possible vehicles for the spread of the contagion.
